Intellectual Property Management Plan Aligned with Operational Goals
On October 14, 2025, a company-wide intellectual property inventory was conducted, covering trade secrets, patents, and trademarks. The trade secret inventory included the storage methods, locations, user departments, authorized personnel, file lending procedures, and retention periods for sensitive documents.
The inventory results identified 2 patents, with an increase of 1 new patent ("Rebar Quantity Calculation System") compared to the previous year. There are 86 trademarks with valid rights periods (73 in Taiwan, 13 in China). These results align with verification checks from the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) and the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
Through regular tracking and management, the Company reinforces awareness and cognition of intellectual property protection, identifies IP protection risks, and implements early prevention measures. The relevant implementation status was reported to the 20th meeting of the 25th Board of Directors on December 30, 2025.
Integrity Management
The Sustainable Development Committee serves as the dedicated unit for the Company’s ethical management. It is responsible for formulating and overseeing the implementation of ethical management policies and prevention programs. The Committee convenes at least twice a year and consists of three members, with more than half being independent directors.
The Company’s ethical management policy is to "treat all stakeholders with fairness, integrity, and honesty." The "Ethical Corporate Management Best Practice Principles," "Procedures for Ethical Management and Guidelines for Conduct" have been formulated, approved by the Board of Directors, implemented, and publicly disclosed on the Company’s website. To implement this policy, a "Commitment to Integrity" has been established for signature by management and employees, and a "Statement of Compliance with Ethical Management" has been established for signature by directors.
The execution of ethical management is discussed by the Sustainable Development Committee and reported to the Board of Directors annually. On December 1, 2025, all units conducted an unethical conduct risk assessment. The overall assessment result was low risk; for items assessed as medium risk by specific departments, prevention programs and measures have been drafted. The implementation status of the 2025 prevention program for unethical conduct was reported to the 20th meeting of the 25th Board of Directors on December 30, 2025.
